When is the last day a hospice patient can receive remaining tablets from a prescription written on 3/1/2020?

In North Carolina, the regulations surrounding the dispensing of medications, particularly for hospice patients, stipulate that prescriptions are valid for a specific duration depending on the type of medication. For prescriptions intended for hospice patients, the law allows for a maximum of 60 days from the date the prescription was written for the medication to be deemed valid for dispensing.

Given that the prescription was written on 3/1/2020, the last day for the patient to receive the remaining tablets would indeed be 60 days later, which falls on 4/30/2020. This period is designed to ensure that medications are dispensed appropriately while also considering the potential for expiration or changes in the patient's condition.

Therefore, a hospice patient can receive remaining tablets from that prescription until 60 days after it was written, confirming that this choice is aligned with the regulations set forth for medication management in hospice care.
